Hello Konstantin, thank you for your answer. Yes I have exactly the same problem as discussed on stackoverflow but I haven't found a solution yet. If I print the log of the Toplevel- Makefile which defines the version information I only see 2 two commits between "Linux 2.6.31-rc1" and "Linux 2.6.30" on branch "master" (which is the only branch of this repository) . I think there should be a lot more commits between these two versions.
Is there a way to get access to these "hidden" commits which are somehow striped by the work-flow? ~/linux/git log -n 5 --oneline v2.6.31-rc1 Makefile 28d0325 Linux 2.6.31-rc1 2521f2c gcov: add gcov profiling infrastructure 45e3e19 Merge branch 'master' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sam/kbuild-next 07a2039 Linux 2.6.30 b8b0618 kbuild: remove extra ifdef/endif of top Makefile Martin On Mon, Feb 4, 2013 at 4:52 PM, Konstantin Khomoutov <flatw...@users.sourceforge.net> wrote: > On Sun, 3 Feb 2013 03:52:51 -0800 (PST) > martin mangard <dothema...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> I use various versions of the linux kernel which I compile from >> source.
